Yes.
If you use pulse audio as your default sound manager and have a script
to disable, connect and disconnect from jack when jack is
started/stopped you can keep pretty much forget about connection issues.*
Check the recent archives for examples of how to setup pulse to work
with jack. There are several methods. I currently use a script provided
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano from CCRMA and have configured qjactkctl to
run it at start/stop.
*Apart from on a 64 bit system. Then things can get murky with pulse and
binary apps like skype, flash, real player etc..
